Engineering Second degree for engineers for more job opportunities?
The education I earned has been largely useless to me despite being accredited ( I know I shouldn't use useless but just stating the facts here).

It appears that my experience and education are insignificant. Obviously this can't continue so I have two options. 1) Find a...- unlucky_
